Thanks for the motivating and informative post, Adi1031. I definitely agree with you that one should target the top B-schools. I too will be doing so. But the problem with me is that perhaps this is the last chance for me to get into full time MBA. Next year would be much more tougher. Hence, I want...


Thanks Adi1031 for the insightful information. I have read on many forums that many schools such as H/S/W do not consider older applicants. Additionally I am from IT background (very common) not a millitary guy or something like that. Based on that, I want to know few reach and few safety schools. K...


Please suggest few safety schools too in both the categories (US and non-US).

Thanks.

As everyone says, it depends on you. BUT, in my opinion, it is very important to check whether that time slot is suitable for you? The test will last for nealry 4 hours and it is very difficult to concentrate towards the end. Hence, 5 and 6 pm slots coud be dangerous until you are absolutely sure th...
